Part procurement lifecycle — Heavy Metal Equipment · Phase 1 prototype (mock data)
Click any stage for details. Drag or scroll horizontally to pan the path.
Every route a part can take. After receipt it forks into two branches that terminate independently: Direct to machine — parts wait on staging shelves, where there are no inventory transactions (parts simply move through; nothing in aggregate) — and into the Warehouse, where stock is added, adjusted, returned, or issued (inventory-manager transaction types; + / − show the effect on quantity on hand). An issued part is ultimately installed or returned (on either path); warehouse stock can also be transferred to another HME site. Click any stage for details, and zoom to fit.
Shapes: plain box = a stage · double-edged box = a one-to-many step (one request → many quotes) · cylinder = an inventory aggregate (quantity on hand, summed from many transactions) · diamond = a decision/branch.
Paths: procurement direct to machine warehouse stock issue & install return. A returned purchased part may go back to the supplier; an intentionally stocked part never does — it just re-joins quantity on hand. In the Full map, connecting arrows are coloured by branch — blue for procurement & direct-to-machine, green for the warehouse flow. Cost-tier thresholds are placeholders pending business rules.
